\u00a0Showing us how it is done were Olivia, Richard and Jenni&#8217;s daughter and five of their beautifully presented Basenjis. \u00a0Amongst the hustle and bustle of the busy arena, Olivia made it all look too easy. \u00a0But\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 0.75rem;line-height: 1.25rem\">to make me feel a little better about my monsters at home, in true Basenji form there was one or two chewed show leads while the B&#8217;s waited their turn (though they were all still much better behaved than ours would be crated and surrounded by other dogs of all shapes and sizes). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 0.75rem;line-height: 1.25rem\">There was a really friendly atmosphere at the show and it was nice to talk to some of the other owners and learn more about different breeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1194 alignright\" title=\"Hound Group\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.basenjibreednetwork.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_75051.jpg\" width=\"432\" height=\"288\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 0.75rem;line-height: 1.25rem\">Java was the star of the show for me&#8230;but maybe I am biased. \u00a0I like my Basenjis as cheeky as possible, and Java certainly has a lot of personality!! \u00a0Secretly, I fell for him the moment I saw him and can&#8217;t wait to meet Java (and his pack) again. \u00a0Java won Best of Breed for the day and can be seen here with the best hounds of the day. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 0.75rem;line-height: 1.25rem\">When the weather warms up towards the end of the year, hopefully we can follow the\u00a0Langarni clan to another few shows. \u00a0Thanks Jenni and family for embracing us on Saturday and being so warm and friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1195\" style=\"width: 356px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basenjibreednetwork.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_75091.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1195\" class=\"wp-image-1195 \" title=\"Java\" alt=\"Ch Langarni African Aluko\" src=\"https:\/\/www.basenjibreednetwork.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_75091.jpg\" width=\"346\" height=\"518\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Handsome Java, BOB for the show &#8211; very cheeky indeed!
